SRU of LXCFS 2.0.6 (upstream bugfix release)

We have autopkgtest coverage for this, combined with manual testing of it prior to release and we also look very closely at bug reports we get upstream from users of distributions which are already shipping this release.

Same thing we've been doing for the past 8 point releases, so far with all issues found before it hit -updates.

Additionally, this package is in Zesty already and has been automatically pushed to thousands of users of the upstream LXCFS stable PPA and we monitor new bug reports for 2.0.6 very closely.

Oops, bad copy/paste in the first comment, LXCFS has only had 5 previous point releases.

Hello Stéphane, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lxcfs into yakkety-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxcfs/2.0.6-0ubuntu1~16.10.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

As a part of the Stable Release Updates quality process a search for Launchpad bug reports using the version of lxcfs from yakkety-proposed was performed and bug 1661991 was found. Please investigate this bug report to ensure that a regression will not be created by this SRU. In the event that this is not a regression remove the "verification-failed" tag from this bug report and add the tag "bot-stop-nagging" to bug 1661991 (not this bug). Thanks!

That bug report was invalid, it was caused by the reporter's system running out of memory during the package upgrade as can trivially be seen in the kernel log. Resetting SRU status.

All tests pass, haven't seen any bug report for existing users and haven't seen any problem while using this for a week myself. Mark as verification-done.

This bug was fixed in the package lxcfs - 2.0.6-0ubuntu1~16.04.1
